[BLDG-SIM] List of modelable commercial building energy conservation measures

[Peter Simmonds]

Jason, your question is sort of loaded as it leans towards the standard
solution of adding variable speed control to everything that moves in
order to reduce energy, which will work but not in all cases. I would
like to see development in modeling hybrid systems; these would be
displacement ventilation together with a radiant system for either
heating or cooling or both. TC6.5 has been pushing this work statement
for more than a year now and there is still a reluctance to pick up on
the potential. Modeling a true displacement ventilation system in DOE-2
would also be advantageous. Another plus would be to look at operating a
space to comfort criteria in accordance with the new ASHRAE standard 55,
2004.

We have been trying to emulate the performance of radiant systems using
DOE-2 (through EnergyPro) for title 24 compliance, our results show that
radiant systems and hybrid systems are performing 30-40% below title 24
requirements even with the moving base case.

I know this reply is slightly 'off beat' to what you were actually
asking but you did ask and I would like to move forward rather keep
re-inventing the wheel.

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] List of modelable commercial building energy
conservation measures

 

I'm trying to pull together a comprehensive list of 

different energy conserving measures that can be considered 

for commercial buildings. I would like the measures to be 

"modelable" in a simulation program like DOE-2 or 

EnergyPlus. I am thinking broadly - more roof insulation to 

variable speed cooling tower fans. Someone probably has 

already put together a good list.  If anyone knows of such 

a list, please let me know.

 

Thanks

 

Jason
